About Krottenseer Turm (Waldkopf)

The freestanding limestone tower in the Krottenseer Forst near Neuhaus an der Pegnitz where Wolfgang Güllich made climbing history twice: Wallstreet (1987) was the world's first 8c and Action Directe (1991) was the world's first 9a. Rock is compact Jurassic Frankendolomit — climbers universally call it limestone. The tower and the wider Waldkopf crag next to it sit in a dense wooded valley at 492m; both faces are steep to overhanging, so surface rain sheds fast, but the wooded floor keeps humidity high after prolonged wet spells. Approach from Neuhaus toward Krottensee, then 1.2km beyond Maximiliansgrotte. The most famous small tower in world climbing — a pilgrimage.
